Advance Directives: How can we make decisions at the end of life?

26 April

On April 26 you are invited to the third lecture of this series organized in collaboration with Amics de la Unesco de Barcelona.  Núria Terribas, legal scholar and director of the Víctor Grífols i Lucas Foundation, will give a talk on advance directives, answering questions and opening the floor for discussion with all those interested in advance care planning.

Discussing the end of life and death is still considered taboo in our society, which can make it challenging to contemplate and make decisions regarding how we would like it to be. Nevertheless, it is important to plan for these situations, especially in the case of terminal illness, to ensure that the responsibility does not fall on others, such as family members and healthcare professionals.

Planning for these decisions before these situations arise is a responsible approach that also safeguards the patient’s autonomy in case it is compromised. Yet it is important to think them through, ask for advice and to share such decisions with other people in our lives.
